Angel of Damnation is a German traditional doom metal band formed in 2003, known for blending epic doom with influences from bands like Candlemass, Witchfinder General, and Saint Vitus, while also incorporating a strong 70s vibe akin to Pentagram and Black Sabbath. The band's lyrical themes, while sometimes mistaken for black metal, delve into darker aspects of human history and often mock religious institutions.
The band's core lineup consists of Avenger (guitar, from Nocturnal/Front Beast), the rhythm section of Cross Vault, and vocalist Doomcult Messiah (Gerrit Mutz, also known for Sacred Steel, Dawn of Winter, and Battleroar). The band's rhythm section has seen some changes, with Hellbastard (Nocturnal/Blackevil) and Tempestas (Cross Vault/Halphas) being replaced by Neudi (Sentry/Trance/ex-Manilla Road)
